Chapter 572: Twelve. Meeting, dance (2)

Pick up the tea cup. The black tea in the cup has the unique greenish color of the first season of Darjeeling, sniff the fresh fragrance, slowly contain the tea in the mouth, and the fragrant fragrance quickly penetrates from the tip of the tongue, mouth, and nose to the whole body, warm The tea juice ran over the throat, the tea cup returned silently to the tea tray, and Li Lin opened his eyes.
"... there is progress."
There was no obvious expression on the comment of the imperial master. Niederhog, who was dressed as a deacon, slightly fell back and quickly refilled the black tea with grace, and then changed it in a vase on the desk at 9 a.m. The new rose.
In the president’s office, which is always full of office supplies, documents, reports, and letters, only at this moment will there be a warmth of life, and I feel at ease with the daily scenes as always, plus I was praised by Xiao Xiao, The corner of Niederhogg's mouth couldn't help but rose slightly.
"Regarding the candidates for the investigation team of the Army's rebellion, is there any news from the Prime Minister?"
Shaking the cup of black tea, overlooking the bustling streets, just like a middle-aged man who enjoys a moment of lounging and daylight, he will never look at such a common-looking man and "conspirator", "belly black", "profitmaker", "Heroic" and other honorary titles are linked together. Keeping the harmless smile of humans and animals, Li Lin's eyes returned to Niederhogger.
"His Prime Minister said that the Cabinet has not yet reached an agreement on this matter, and the Ministers will have to consider it again."
Niederhogg had a calm tone, and his eyes showed contempt.
After the rebellion ended on the 26th of Fengyue, in addition to the strict handling of the first evil elements and direct participants, another highlight was the investigation and cleansing of the army headquarters of the rebels and the royal camp. Prime Minister Richelieu of course wanted to sweep away the royalists. But I don't want v.e to take the opportunity to meddle with the War Department and fill the power vacuum after the loss of the royalists. That's why. The selection of relevant personnel of the investigation committee was extremely cautious.
The company v.e showed a high degree of "understanding". They did not protest according to the Prime Minister's expectations, asking Titans to take over the Army Department, or simply disbanding the Army and let Titans replace it. Li Lin only made a "very small" request: The chief of the investigation committee must be Prince Louis.
At first glance, this requirement is a bit confusing. Let the head office of the royalist school check their own people, is this unclearly waterproof? Archbishop Li knew very well that the v.e company and the dominant faction were in full force. Why not let Prince Wang check? When he returned from the northern front, the investigation was almost done, and the rest was Prince Wang's signature. Take a step back and wait for the Crown Prince to return to the country to start the investigation. It is the same as the reign of His Majesty the King, and then the executors of the Bastille prison used various novel criminal laws to confess, plus the officials from the royal line. The stuff found in the home and the Army Department building was used as a bedding. The results of the survey can be imagined.
Li Lin is forcing Crown Prince Wang to slap himself and smear his face. Cardinals who have been immersed in officialdom for many years have to admire the depth of the old opponent’s ambition, the ruthlessness of their wrists, and the poison of their intentions. The beneficiaries of the Navy and Titans naturally thank you. You have to be treated as a good person, thank you for giving him the opportunity to clear the relationship. All the good things left Li Lin alone!
Because this method is so good and powerful, Richelieu has still failed to accept it. Prince Louis did not disappoint, but the prince of the arrogant, nervous and chasing after the battleship's main gun, after this kind of mental torture, then made another three long and two short, so that the second prince smoothly ascended the position. This country has really become the world of v.e company. Before properly arranging the buffering measures, his old man still had "consideration".
Anyway, the final result is the same. Li Lin didn't care about the Prime Minister's torment, and there were more important things waiting for him to deal with.
"The Admiralty sent someone to ask the company at 7 a.m., hoping that we would study the 1,000-ton cruiser, and to what extent the frigates below 1,000 tons can be armed to the maximum extent."
Niederhogg closed his notepad and placed a thick stack of documents under his arm on the table. Before the naval talks officially began, Li Lin had issued instructions to mobilize experts from the shipbuilding design department to conduct preliminary research on how to strengthen the performance of ships with tonnage restrictions. These drawings are the results of the research.
Li Lin had already foreseen it, no, it was this situation. The history of all kinds of rejection and show limits in another world has long proved countless times and ridiculous things like treaties.
No one has ever regarded man-made rules as sacred and inviolable norms. The treaties signed between countries are even more a joke. The sole purpose of signing treaties is to tear them up at some point in the future. As long as necessary, politicians and soldiers will abandon treaties and guidelines without hesitation, and when it is not necessary to do so, everyone likes to take advantage of the loopholes.
A typical case is the Hague Convention. When expansion warheads such as the Dam bomb were banned, people began to study new bullets, first a lead-aluminum composite core, then a small-caliber rifle bullet, and finally a steel core bullet . The tumbling and cavity effects produced by these bullets colliding with the target brought great lethality, enough to throw the original Dam bomb out of several streets, and did not violate the Hague Convention. So politicians are very happy, and the army is also very happy.
Similar things can be found in other treaties on arms limitation. The history of the earth has been this way, and Charlieman and Albion will do the same.
"Only the result is the most important, the process and means are insignificant."
Li Lin understands this very thoroughly, and then prepares his clients early for what they need to drill down.
The first and second proposals of the Royal Navy of Charlemagne are too strong~EbookFREE.me~ As long as there are no abnormal conditions in Albion, they will generally not accept the harsh requirements. The most likely to become the content of the treaty is the third plan, that is, Charlemagne accepts a fleet tonnage ratio of 10:6, and it is no longer entangled in cruiser issues. It agrees with Albion’s requirements for limiting the tonnage, performance and quantity of cruisers. Reach a naval treaty.
This is a happy ending, but there are more cats under the table, and even if there are restrictions, it is not difficult to take advantage of the technology. The treaty cruiser before the outbreak of World War II, as well as the highest level of the foot basin, the Brooklyn class of Midi is an example in this regard. Creating a sailing version of the "amazing default ship" is not a problem for v.e. The pre-research work is also quite smooth. The contact with the navies of the two countries on technology transfer has already begun. When the treaty is signed, the two countries will definitely pay a good price to purchase related technologies and drawings.
The only problem is that technology development rarely happens overnight, and setbacks, difficulties, and sometimes lives are inevitable. The old Japanese navy also paid the tuition fees for the "U.S. Customs Clearance Incident", "Yuhe Incident" and "Fourth Fleet Incident", so that his mind was a little clearer, and he was able to view the shipbuilding competition relatively objectively and rationally.
Therefore, for the future of Gilmania, and for the gradual and progressive development of science, Albion and Charlemagne should pay the same tuition fee. (To be continued...)
